Youre just a vicious racist, a Manhattan judge said in sentencing a psychotic gunman to 240 years in prison for holding 15 white patrons of an East Village wine bar hostage 10 years ago.

Steven Johnson  an AIDS-infected, unemployed Brooklyn barber  had burst into Bar Veloce on Second Avenue just before closing time on a June night in 2002, dousing everyone with kerosene and shouting, White people are going to burn tonight!

One decade, one mistrial and one overturned verdict later, Johnson was up to his old tricks again at his sentencing yesterday  ranting about the economic collapse and comparing himself to the great terrorists of yore.

Mr. Johnson, you deluded yourself into believing not only that night, but even now, that you were and are a great man of some substance and significance...

But in your 15 minutes of fame you proved to be no more than a malevolent and vicious racist. You accomplished nothing that night except instilling terror in the hearts of innocent, decent people, injuring some of them...

I am offended that it too eleven years, and untold dollars to put this pond scum away. The cops never do their job. One of the witnesses said that the cops refused to shoot this guy a second time when they arrived. But they have no problem emptying their guns into your dog!

But that would be because the SoCal police were being “hunted” by one of their own. Under those circumstances, citizens become just like the family dog, only more so.The “Police Motto” is “To Protect and To Serve Ourselves.” Translation: We plan on going home tonight, no matter who has to die!

Colin Ferguson. What a cluster uff that trial was. I watched the whole thing. He cross examined his own victims referring to himself in the 3rd person. The judge should never have allowed that trial, it made a mockery of pretty much everyone involved in the criminal justice system.

Despite being bound at the wrists with plastic cuffs and covered in kerosene, Gidley jumped Johnson and hurled him to the floor after he started ranting about how no one would leave the bar except in a body bag.

Anyone know what his screen name is over on Kos or HuffPo?

(Romney would have been worse, if you're a dumb ass.)

No that trial was in Nassau County, more conservative than NY County. But the judge just didn’t want to find him insane because everyone wanted him to stand trial. Clearly he was totally out of his mind and it just made the judge and court look foolish to pretend otherwise. On top of that, it was traumatic to the victims having to be cross examined by the guy who shot them! He would never have been released anyway and frankly, it made other judges take note in future cases.

Yep. He’s responsible for more deaths than Johnson. Bengazi alone makes him worse than Johnson. He’s just as unrepentant, just as malevolent, just as hateful, just as much of a racist, and the potential of more deaths at his hands, even of the nation itself (which he despises), is going to be hanging over our heads for the next four years.
God knows what he’ll do. I’d rather throw myself at the mercy of Steven Johnson than that hateful, jug-eared Kenyan demon.
